Spruce Private Investors serves as the Chief Investment
Officer and asset manager for family offices and charitable institutions.
Spruce has helped families and investors benefit from the ever-widening and
sophisticated array of global investment opportunities.

As part of the aabalone[red] team to develop a new Spruce
branding expression, I participated in the development of a new logo and
subsequent branding applications. Spruce’s visual brand is all about growth and
rich and diverse ways of achieving it.

Burstream is the creator of the NanoSpeed Market Data
Mesh™. The ‘NanoSpeed Mesh’ is a service-based offering for high
frequency proprietary trading firms who desire the fastest market data
processing speeds achievable while requiring rapid implementation and cost
effective operations.

As part of the aabalone[red] team to develop a Burstream
branding expression, I participated in the development of a new logo, website
and creation of schematics illustrating their business model. Burstream’s
visual brand is all about direct, clean, unfettered speed.

While most firms focus on either investors or advisors,
Raylor Investments understands that the two are intrinsically linked. Their
holistic approach results in a single solution: a compelling investment
strategy coupled with a sound business development strategy. From our perspective,
the two are bound together—supporting the role of both an investment manager
and a business manager.

As part of the aabalone[red] team to develop a expanded
branding expression, I participated in the development of a new brochure, web
site/blog that allowed for client interaction and the creation of schematics
illustrating their business model. Raylor’s brand is all about bringing people
together in a clear and individual way.

RayLign facilitates family decisions that establish
effective leadership and decision-making processes that builds respect,
communications and financial well-being. For RayLign’s annual gathering, that promotes dialogue
between parents and adult children, I branded the 2011 event by creating a new
illustration for the invitation that shows how family generations are connected
through patterns that rely on each other – music notes.

Sysdyne is in the business of providing processing systems
for ordering, mixing, and delivering concrete. They traditionally have worked
exclusively with concrete mixing plants so their brand has been very workman
like to match their audience.

With the development of their new “cloud” based dispatch
system, Sysdyne needed a tradeshow brand that spoke more to the where their
technology was going – modern, digital, and multifaceted.
